Good afternoon!

We've got some groovy ghosts and ghouls running races this Halloween weekend!!!

I wanna see those pumpkins!! If nothing else, it'll give you all a good arm workout πŸ˜„ Actually, I heard that pumpkin-based workouts are actually a thing - anyone know?

ANYWAY. Let's hear it for our runners!!

On Saturday we have:

β˜… roseabi, yes that's me - I was the first one on the list, OK? 😊 I'm going to be trying not to fall into the sea at the Beachy Head Marathon!!!

And then on Sunday:

β˜… ChrisAllen1 in the Hexham 10K!!!

β˜… DiveMonkey in the Slanghoek Triathlon - she's hoping it will actually BE a triathlon this time, not just a duathlon! Fingers crossed, Monkey!!!

β˜… Alissum in the Colloden 10K!!!

β˜… Lorijay in the Leicestershire Prestwood Hall 10K!!!

β˜… And mcgurranhouse in the Dublin Marathon!!!

To these weird and wonderfuls, and to everyone else getting their bibs on this weekend:

GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN... WOOOOOOOO!!!!!! 😊

p.s. If anyone has entered a race event and would like to be added to our list, please do add it to the comments on our pinned Race Race Race post!

I’d love to run through a start like that, especially if it was in the dark and it was luminous😍.

Good Luck everyone . Have fun, stay safe and show us the bling!

Good luck everyone racing. I do hope the weather's kind for you, and that there's cake at the end. At the start and in the middle wouldn't be bad either

I didn't know that pumpkin weightlifting thing. I shall give it a whirl as I have a plethora of em in my conservatory All shapes and sizes to choose from.

Good luck everyone, enjoy your runs :-)

Im just sorting out my running gear. What to wear on Sunday? Bitterly cold here today with hail and sleet showers and windy. Forecast not much better for Sunday. Suppose I'll just run faster if Im cold :-)

Cant wait :-D

Good luck everyone!! Hope you crush that marathon roseabi like we know you will!!

Summer has awoken here in SA and today's temps are at a lovely 40 degrees... so yes it will be a real triathlon this morning with a no wetsuit swim (23 degree water yesterday)!!! But we might die in the heat as we are only starting the race at 09:40!!

Will provide a full report when I get home later today! :)

Good morning all. Thanks for the honourable mention! Happy to report a glorious day for a marathon in Dublin - quite cold at the start but we all know how that goes. A lot to be said for wearing something warm at the start that you don't mind ditching - I believe that the clothes are all gathered up and passed on to charities so a win-win all round. Started with my brother - same legendary brother as last year - and my lovely husband. Not a big lover of loud noise but didn't find it quite as terrifying as last year - even got and gave lots of high fives on the way. The crowds in Dublin are unbelievable - I don't believe that there is as much as 50 meters without at least one supporter from the start line to the finish line. With huge support from my husband and brother at the start, my husband then dropped back to run with a friend's son and took 6 minutes off the young man's pb! I kept running with my brother and with a few wobbly walking spots in the middle section managed to finish in 4:22 - 16 minutes faster than last year!! And now that I can walk down stairs without wincing again - so tempted to sign up for it again next year!! Signing up for Edinburgh marathon with my daughter and husband - this will be her first marathon.
